BITS is The Financial Services Roundtable technology division. At the end of January 2012 BITS issued a document containing detailed framework regarding the integration of the basic security principles in the software development life cycle.It is called “BITS Software Assurance Framework” The document is developed with the support of the Microsoft SDL group.
If you are a person that engages with these matters you most probably will not be surprised of its content. Yet the document will be usable for people searching for a good framework.
Although the document addresses the financial institutions it is in fact pretty universal and the requirements and recommendations could be easily transferred to a different industry.
The framework is available for download on the BITS site – href=”http://www.bits.org/publications/security/BITSSoftwareAssurance0112.pdf” target=”_blank”>http://www.bits.org/publications/security/BITSSoftwareAssurance0112.pdf
